Nelly Kate Releases ISH ISH
February 28, 2012
I saw first saw Nelly Kate perfrom at the Listening Room last year and was blown away by her music. Her layered sounds and voice grabbed your attention like no other and I’ve been looking forward to seeing what else she has up her sleeve.
Her album “ISH ISH,” primarily an analog record release, is set to be released this week, and from what I’ve heard already, it’s going to be one the best albums in Richmond this year. The first 300 copies of the album will be pressed on 180-gram virgin vinyl and come with a CD, plus a limited edition run of 100 copies will come with a 75-page book.
Nelly will release “ISH ISH” with a show at Strange Matter on Thursday, March 1. Also playing are The Pharmacy, Softspot and the Diamond Center.
And on Friday, March 2, Nelly will release a book of illustrations with a show Gallery 5 feat. Boas and Caged Animals. All of Nelly’s illustraions will be exhibited and Dave Watkins will be doing film projections as well.
And to finish up the weekend, there will be a Listening Party for “ISH ISH” at Steady Sounds on Sunday, March 4 with Nelly and White Laces.

CONTEST TIME
I have two tickets for Nelly Kate’s Release Show at Strange Matter on March 1 to one lucky reader. All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me why you want them or something nice about me or how incredible Nelly’s music is. Deadline is Thursday, March 1 at noon.
Not only are you nice, you can rock a suit like no ones business.
Plus any musician that can sound that angelic, yet have percussion that can resonate your insides is worth seeing as many times as possible.
I have a Nelly Kate tshirt from back in my college days at JMU. I still wear it all the time because it’s a killer shirt and I’m looking forward to seeing where her music has taken her in the past 5 years. I’m sure it will be fantastic!
Me! Please!
